As a city girl living in the downtown Toronto area, I’m not exactly close to all-purpose (i.e. non-electronics or home-focused) big box stores. In fact, I believe the closest one to me is at least a 20-minute subway ride away! So if I’m looking for something quick, I often head to Shoppers Drug […]
Right after World MasterCard Fashion Week ended, I made my way to the Delicious Food Show, an event featuring many of Canada’s best in delectable delights.

I don’t know if it’s the weather, or just my mood, but lately I’ve been in the mood for home-baked breads and rich snacking foods. This particular recipe is actually a three-part recipe, as it includes the bread itself (which is amazing on its own!), a spicy red pepper jelly that is a fantastically flavourful […]
